Christmas market in Annaberg-Buchholz

The Christmas market in the heart of the old quarter opens on 25 November at 5pm, when a ceremonial push sets the Christmas pyramid in motion. The festive figures even come down from the carousel to introduce themselves. Here the Erzgebirge's woodcarving traditions come to the fore. Tours by night and Christmas surprises, special Christmas exhibitions, the Bergmann nativity scene, the ceremonial "cutting of the Stollen cake" on 26 November and the great Bergmann parade on 18 December, are all as traditional as they are eventful!
